Flamengo draw with América-MG and hit trouble in the Brasileirão Feminino | OneFootball

With two rounds left before the end of the first phase, Flamengo is outside the G-8

It’s win and do the math! Flamengo has made things complicated for itself in the Women’s Brasileirão. This Monday (10), the Rubro-Negro drew 1-1 with América-MG at Arena Urbsan, in Betim, Minas Gerais. With the result, Mengo remains in ninth place, with two rounds left in the qualification phase.

The top eight teams advance to the round of 16. With 24 points, Flamengo is tied with Grêmio (sixth), Internacional (seventh) and Cruzeiro (eighth). However, the Rio side is at a disadvantage in number of wins and goal difference.

Despite being away from home, the result is disappointing for Flamengo. That is because América-MG is third from bottom, with only seven points. In the Women’s Brasileirão, the bottom two are relegated, and the Minas Gerais side is outside the relegation zone on goal difference, since it is tied on points with Vitória, the second-to-last team.

HOW DID THE MATCH GO?

Flamengo had total control of the match, with more possession and more dangerous chances. However, it was América-MG that opened the scoring. After an unbelievable mistake by the Rubro-Negro defense, Dani Ortolan, a former Mengo player, got the ball, slotted it past goalkeeper Vivi Holzel, and celebrated in the 12th minute.

At 41 minutes, there was an unbelievable refereeing mistake. Djeni found the net for Flamengo, but the referee called offside at the start of the play. However, the player who was in an irregular position received the pass from a throw-in. Therefore, there was no infraction.

After so much pressure, Flamengo finally equalized. After a cross from the left intended for Fernandinha, Lorrany made the clearance. The ball fell to Cristiane, who unleashed a rocket from inside the box to make it all square with her right foot, which is not her stronger one, in the 18th minute of the second half.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

Unable to slip up if it wants to qualify for the knockout stage, Flamengo returns to the field next Sunday (16) against Santos, starting at 11 a.m. (Brasília time). The match will be played at Estádio Distrital do Inamar, in Diadema, São Paulo. Coluna do Fla will, of course, bring you the result of the match.

For Santos, it is the last hope of staying alive in the competition. After all, the Vila Belmiro side has 20 points, four behind Flamengo. In other words, since Cruzeiro, in eighth place, has 24, there is still a chance to reach the knockout stage.
